Steak

I confess that I know very little about all things steak associated. What is the leanest cut that I could buy?

Cheers

Have a look here: Crop & Food Research.

Search for beef, good table of results to compare.

you should ask the man himself.

That's awesome. Thanks heaps for that.

I got told by a butcher that topside steak is the leanest. It certainly looks the leanest!

Eye fillet rocks, it's lean and the bestest cut.

i think you will find that the butcher is correct but if you are frying it. It is pretty hard to chew..... Eye fillet has lots of little fatty bits running through it... nice to eat though :pfft:

My husband is a butcher and picks the leanest eye fillet for me with hardly any fat running through it :grin: 8)

Topside needs to be tenderized first or stewed so it's less chewy.

Ya, I normally put mine in the slow cooker.

The butcher is def your friend... I was shopping for rump, which I find tends not to have the fat marbled through it, but easily trimmed of visible fat, and the butcher in my local New World offered to trim it for me. Sweet - less work for me, AND I'm not paying for the fat he just trimmed off
